Hello.  Pure Barre is now open in WaterColor Crossings on Hwy 395. Grand opening party tonight!   There is a new way to get in shape on 30A. Now open in the Watercolor Crossings Center next to Publix, Pure Barre utilizes the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to popular music. It is the fastest, most effective, yet safest way to change your body with students seeing results in just 10 classes. 

Pure Barre is a safe way to workout, there is no impact and jarring  to the joints and knees. The exercises work each muscle to fatigue and then stretches it right back out creating the long lean look of a dancer. Pure Barre launches a full blown attack on the areas of the body all women struggle with and will lift your seat, tone your thighs and burn fat.

There will be an official grand opening of the studio tonight, Thursday, August 26 starting at 6PM. There will be giveaways, food, and drink. CEO and creator of Pure Barre, Carrie Rezabek, will also be in town to celebrate the grand opening along with teaching some classes.   Pure Barre offers classes daily, and is extending a new client special with 30 days of unlimited classes for $100. For more information, please call 850-231-0147.
